After the recent commit 5097cbcb38e6 ("sched/isolation: Prevent boot crash
when the boot CPU is nohz_full") the kernel no longer crashes, but there is
another problem.
In this case tick_setup_device() calls tick_take_do_timer_from_boot() to
update tick_do_timer_cpu and this triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE(irqs_disabled)
in smp_call_function_single().
Kill tick_take_do_timer_from_boot() and just use WRITE_ONCE(), the new
comment explains why this is safe (thanks Thomas!).

Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:
- Remove sentinel elements from ctl_table structs in kernel/*
Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size
and runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. Removals for
net/, io_uring/, mm/, ipc/ and security/ are set to go into mainline
through their respective subsystems making the next release the most
likely place where the final series that removes the check for
proc_name == NULL will land.
This adds to removals already in arch/, drivers/ and fs/.
- Adjust ctl_table definitions and references to allow constification
- Remove unused ctl_table function arguments
- Move non-const elements from ctl_table to ctl_table_header
- Make ctl_table pointers const in ctl_table_root structure
Making the static ctl_table structs const will increase safety by
keeping the pointers to proc_handler functions in .rodata. Though no
ctl_tables where made const in this PR, the ground work for making
that possible has started with these changes sent by Thomas
Weißschuh.

Pull timers and timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Core code:
- Make timekeeping and VDSO time readouts resilent against math
overflow:
In guest context the kernel is prone to math overflow when the host
defers the timer interrupt due to overload, malfunction or malice.
This can be mitigated by checking the clocksource delta for the
maximum deferrement which is readily available. If that value is
exceeded then the code uses a slowpath function which can handle
the multiplication overflow.
This functionality is enabled unconditionally in the kernel, but
made conditional in the VDSO code. The latter is conditional
because it allows architectures to optimize the check so it is not
causing performance regressions.
On X86 this is achieved by reworking the existing check for
negative TSC deltas as a negative delta obviously exceeds the
maximum deferrement when it is evaluated as an unsigned value. That
avoids two conditionals in the hotpath and allows to hide both the
negative delta and the large delta handling in the same slow path.
- Add an initial minimal ktime_t abstraction for Rust
- The usual boring cleanups and enhancements

drivers"

Kernel timekeeping is designed to keep the change in cycles (since the last
timer interrupt) below max_cycles, which prevents multiplication overflow
when converting cycles to nanoseconds. However, if timer interrupts stop,
the clocksource_cyc2ns() calculation will eventually overflow.
Add protection against that. Simplify by folding together
clocksource_delta() and clocksource_cyc2ns() into cycles_to_nsec_safe().
Check against max_cycles, falling back to a slower higher precision
calculation.

For the case !CONFIG_CLOCKSOURCE_VALIDATE_LAST_CYCLE, forego overflow
protection in the range (mask << 1) < delta <= mask, and interpret it
always as an inconsistency between CPU clock values. That allows
slightly neater code, and it is on a slow path so has no effect on
performance.

Commit 4b6f4c5a67c0 ("timer/migration: Remove buggy early return on
deactivation") removed the logic to return early in tmigr_update_events()
on deactivation. With this the problem with a not properly updated first
global event in a hierarchy containing only a single group was fixed.
But when having a look at this code path with a hierarchy with more than a
single level, now unnecessary work is done (example is partially copied
from the message of the commit mentioned above):
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0
nextevt = T0:0i, T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = 0 migrator = NONE
active = 0 active = NONE
nextevt = T0i, T1 nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 (T0i) 1 (T1) 2 (T2) 3
active idle idle idle
0) CPU 0 is active thus its event is ignored (the letter 'i') and so are
upper levels' events. CPU 1 is idle and has the timer T1 enqueued.
CPU 2 also has a timer. The expiry order is T0 (ignored) < T1 < T2
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0
nextevt = T0:0i, T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = NONE migrator = NONE
active = NONE active = NONE
nextevt = T1 nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 (T0i) 1 (T1) 2 (T2) 3
idle idle idle idle
1) CPU 0 goes idle without global event queued. Therefore KTIME_MAX is
pushed as its next expiry and its own event kept as "ignore". Without this
early return the following steps happen in tmigr_update_events() when
child = null and group = GRP0:0 :
lock(GRP0:0->lock);
timerqueue_del(GRP0:0, T0i);
unlock(GRP0:0->lock);
[GRP1:0]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T0:0, T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = NONE migrator = NONE
active = NONE active = NONE
nextevt = T1 nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 (T0i) 1 (T1) 2 (T2) 3
idle idle idle idle
2) The change now propagates up to the top. Then tmigr_update_events()
updates the group event of GRP0:0 and executes the following steps
(child = GRP0:0 and group = GRP0:0):
lock(GRP0:0->lock);
lock(GRP1:0->lock);
evt = tmigr_next_groupevt(GRP0:0); -> this removes the ignored events
in GRP0:0
... update GRP1:0 group event and timerqueue ...
unlock(GRP1:0->lock);
unlock(GRP0:0->lock);
So the dance in 1) with locking the GRP0:0->lock and removing the T0i from
the timerqueue is redundand as this is done nevertheless in 2) when
tmigr_next_groupevt(GRP0:0) is executed.
Revert commit 4b6f4c5a67c0 ("timer/migration: Remove buggy early return on
deactivation") and add a condition into return path to skip the return
only, when hierarchy contains a single group. Adapt comments accordingly.

When a group event is updated with its expiry unchanged but a different
CPU, that target change may go unnoticed and the event may be propagated
up with a stale CPU value. The following depicts a scenario that has
been actually observed:
[GRP2:0]
migrator = GRP1:1
active = GRP1:1
nextevt = TGRP1:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP1:0] [GRP1:1]
migrator = NONE [...]
active = NONE
nextevt = TGRP0:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP0:0] [...]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T0
/ \
0 (T0) 1 (T1)
idle idle
0) The hierarchy has 3 levels. The left part (GRP1:0) is all idle,
including CPU 0 and CPU 1 which have a timer each: T0 and T1. They have
the same expiry value.
[GRP2:0]
migrator = GRP1:1
active = GRP1:1
nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
[GRP1:0] [GRP1:1]
migrator = NONE [...]
active = NONE
nextevt = TGRP0:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP0:0] [...]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T0
/ \
0 (T0) 1 (T1)
idle idle
1) The migrator in GRP1:1 handles remotely T0. The event is dequeued
from the top and T0 executed.
[GRP2:0]
migrator = GRP1:1
active = GRP1:1
nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
[GRP1:0] [GRP1:1]
migrator = NONE [...]
active = NONE
nextevt = TGRP0:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP0:0] [...]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T1
/ \
0 1 (T1)
idle idle
2) The migrator in GRP1:1 fetches the next timer for CPU 0 and finds
none. But it updates the events from its groups, starting with GRP0:0
which now has T1 as its next event. So far so good.
[GRP2:0]
migrator = GRP1:1
active = GRP1:1
nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
[GRP1:0] [GRP1:1]
migrator = NONE [...]
active = NONE
nextevt = TGRP0:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP0:0] [...]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T1
/ \
0 1 (T1)
idle idle
3) The migrator in GRP1:1 proceeds upward and updates the events in
GRP1:0. The child event TGRP0:0 is found queued with the same expiry
as before. And therefore it is left unchanged. However the target CPU
is not the same but that fact is ignored so TGRP0:0 still points to
CPU 0 when it should point to CPU 1.
[GRP2:0]
migrator = GRP1:1
active = GRP1:1
nextevt = TGRP1:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP1:0] [GRP1:1]
migrator = NONE [...]
active = NONE
nextevt = TGRP0:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP0:0] [...]
migrator = NONE

4) The propagation has reached the top level and TGRP1:0, having TGRP0:0
as its first event, also wrongly points to CPU 0. TGRP1:0 is added to
the top level group.
[GRP2:0]
migrator = GRP1:1
active = GRP1:1
nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
[GRP1:0] [GRP1:1]

active = NONE
nextevt = TGRP0:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP0:0] [...]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T1
/ \
0 1 (T1)
idle idle
5) The migrator in GRP1:1 dequeues the next event in top level pointing
to CPU 0. But since it actually doesn't see any real event in CPU 0, it
early returns.
6) T1 is left unhandled until either CPU 0 or CPU 1 wake up.
Some other bad scenario may involve trees with just two levels.
Fix this with unconditionally updating the CPU of the child event before
considering to early return while updating a queued event with an
unchanged expiry value.

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two regression fixes for the timer and timer migration code:
- Prevent endless timer requeuing which is caused by two CPUs racing
out of idle. This happens when the last CPU goes idle and therefore
has to ensure to expire the pending global timers and some other
CPU come out of idle at the same time and the other CPU wins the
race and expires the global queue. This causes the last CPU to
chase ghost timers forever and reprogramming it's clockevent device
endlessly.
Cure this by re-evaluating the wakeup time unconditionally.
- The split into local (pinned) and global timers in the timer wheel
caused a regression for NOHZ full as it broke the idle tracking of
global timers. On NOHZ full this prevents an self IPI being sent
which in turn causes the timer to be not programmed and not being
expired on time.
Restore the idle tracking for the global timer base so that the
self IPI condition for NOHZ full is working correctly again"

While running in nohz_full mode, a task may enqueue a timer while the
tick is stopped. However the only places where the timer wheel,
alongside the timer migration machinery's decision, may reprogram the
next event accordingly with that new timer's expiry are the idle loop or
any IRQ tail.
However neither the idle task nor an interrupt may run on the CPU if it
resumes busy work in userspace for a long while in full dynticks mode.
To solve this, the timer enqueue path raises a self-IPI that will
re-evaluate the timer wheel on its IRQ tail. This asynchronous solution
avoids potential locking inversion.
This is supposed to happen both for local and global timers but commit:
b2cf7507e186 ("timers: Always queue timers on the local CPU")
broke the global timers case with removing the ->is_idle field handling
for the global base. As a result, global timers enqueue may go unnoticed
in nohz_full.
Fix this with restoring the idle tracking of the global timer's base,
allowing self-IPIs again on enqueue time.

When a CPU is an idle migrator, but another CPU wakes up before it,
becomes an active migrator and handles the queue, the initial idle
migrator may end up endlessly reprogramming its clockevent, chasing ghost
timers forever such as in the following scenario:
[GRP0:0]
migrator = 0
active = 0
nextevt = T1
/ \
0 1
active idle (T1)
0) CPU 1 is idle and has a timer queued (T1), CPU 0 is active and is
the active migrator.
[GRP0:0]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T1
/ \
0 1
idle idle (T1)
wakeup = T1
1) CPU 0 is now idle and is therefore the idle migrator. It has
programmed its next timer interrupt to handle T1.
[GRP0:0]
migrator = 1
active = 1
nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
0 1
idle active
wakeup = T1
2) CPU 1 has woken up, it is now active and it has just handled its own
timer T1.
3) CPU 0 gets a timer interrupt to handle T1 but tmigr_handle_remote()
realize it is not the migrator anymore. So it early returns without
observing that T1 has been expired already and therefore without
updating its ->wakeup value.
4) CPU 0 goes into tmigr_cpu_new_timer() which also early returns
because it doesn't queue a timer of its own. So ->wakeup is left
unchanged and the next timer is programmed to fire now.
5) goto 3) forever
This results in timer interrupt storms in idle and also in nohz_full (as
observed in rcutorture's TREE07 scenario).
Fix this with forcing a re-evaluation of tmc->wakeup while trying
remote timer handling when the CPU isn't the migrator anymmore. The
check is inherently racy but in the worst case the CPU just races setting
the KTIME_MAX value that a remote expiry also tries to set.

timer/migration: Remove buggy early return on deactivation
|
|
When a CPU enters into idle and deactivates itself from the timer
migration hierarchy without any global timer of its own to propagate,
the group event of that CPU is set to "ignore" and tmigr_update_events()
accordingly performs an early return without considering timers queued
by other CPUs.
If the hierarchy has a single level, and the CPU is the last one to
enter idle, it will ignore others' global timers, as in the following
layout:
[GRP0:0]
migrator = 0
active = 0
nextevt = T0i
/ \
0 1
active (T0i) idle (T1)
0) CPU 0 is active thus its event is ignored (the letter 'i') and so are
upper levels' events. CPU 1 is idle and has the timer T1 enqueued.
[GRP0:0]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T0i
/ \
0 1
idle (T0i) idle (T1)
1) CPU 0 goes idle without global event queued. Therefore KTIME_MAX is
pushed as its next expiry and its own event kept as "ignore". As a result
tmigr_update_events() ignores T1 and CPU 0 goes to idle with T1
unhandled.
This isn't proper to single level hierarchy though. A similar issue,
although slightly different, may arise on multi-level:
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0
nextevt = T0:0i, T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = 0 migrator = NONE
active = 0 active = NONE
nextevt = T0i nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 (T0i) 1 (T1) 2 (T2) 3
active idle idle idle
0) CPU 0 is active thus its event is ignored (the letter 'i') and so are
upper levels' events. CPU 1 is idle and has the timer T1 enqueued.
CPU 2 also has a timer. The expiry order is T0 (ignored) < T1 < T2
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0
nextevt = T0:0i, T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = NONE migrator = NONE
active = NONE active = NONE
nextevt = T0i nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 (T0i) 1 (T1) 2 (T2) 3
idle idle idle idle
1) CPU 0 goes idle without global event queued. Therefore KTIME_MAX is
pushed as its next expiry and its own event kept as "ignore". As a result
tmigr_update_events() ignores T1. The change only propagated up to 1st
level so far.
[GRP1:0]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = NONE migrator = NONE
active = NONE active = NONE
nextevt = T0i nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 (T0i) 1 (T1) 2 (T2) 3
idle idle idle idle
2) The change now propagates up to the top. tmigr_update_events() finds
that the child event is ignored and thus removes it. The top level next
event is now T2 which is returned to CPU 0 as its next effective expiry
to take account for as the global idle migrator. However T1 has been
ignored along the way, leaving it unhandled.
Fix those issues with removing the buggy related early return. Ignored
child events must not prevent from evaluating the other events within
the same group.

- Standardize on prefixing scheduler-internal functions defined
in <linux/sched.h> with sched_*() prefix. scheduler_tick() was
the only function using the scheduler_ prefix. Harmonize it.
- The other reason to rename it is the NOHZ scheduler tick
handling functions are already named sched_tick_*().
Make the 'git grep sched_tick' more meaningful.

Pull core x86 updates from Ingo Molnar:
- The biggest change is the rework of the percpu code, to support the
'Named Address Spaces' GCC feature, by Uros Bizjak:
- This allows C code to access GS and FS segment relative memory
via variables declared with such attributes, which allows the
compiler to better optimize those accesses than the previous
inline assembly code.
- The series also includes a number of micro-optimizations for
various percpu access methods, plus a number of cleanups of %gs
accesses in assembly code.
- These changes have been exposed to linux-next testing for the
last ~5 months, with no known regressions in this area.
- Fix/clean up __switch_to()'s broken but accidentally working handling
of FPU switching - which also generates better code
- Propagate more RIP-relative addressing in assembly code, to generate
slightly better code
- Rework the CPU mitigations Kconfig space to be less idiosyncratic, to
make it easier for distros to follow & maintain these options
- Rework the x86 idle code to cure RCU violations and to clean up the
logic
- Clean up the vDSO Makefile logic
- Misc cleanups and fixes
